BBQ chick'n pizza

Picture of Almost-Famous Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

For the crust: 
2.5-3 cups all purpose flour (you could also do 1.5 cups white flour and 1 cup wheat flour.  I plan to try that next time)
2 Tbsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp rapid rising yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup very warm water
2 Tbsp oil
       This recipe makes 2, large thin crust pizzas

For the toppings:
When I make a pizza I just try to clean out my frig!  I put as many toppings as possible that seem to go together. I try to make sure there are several servings of veggies on it.  Basically, it should be like a salad on top of the pizza!  This is how I get my son to eat his veggies...and his Daddy, too ;)

For this pizza, I topped with:
Quorn brand chick'n tenders, ~1.5 cups chopped into small pieces (you could also substitute black beans instead of the chick'n)
~1/4 cup Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce (It's the best!)
corn
red onion, diced
tomato, diced
spinach, coarsely cut
parsley, chopped
cilantro, chopped

Directions:
To prepare crust, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.  Gradually add water and oil to the mix.  Mix with a mixer at low speed until moistened, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.  Add the remaining 1.5-2 cups of flour and mix by hand until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
On a floured surface, knead in ~1/4 cup of flour until dough is smooth and elastic.  Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for about 15 min.  Then, press dough out onto 2, 12-inch pizza pans.  Prick randomly with a fork.  Let rest for an additional 10-15 min.   Brush crust lightly with olive oil.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce onto the crust.  Place chopped chick'n in a cup and coat lightly with BBQ sauce.  Once coated, spread evenly onto pizza crust.  Top with remaining ingredients.  Finally sprinkle a little cheese on top of the pizza.  Place in oven and bake for ~10 minutes or until crust is golden and center is done.
